Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation)

  Yup. People can’t sacrifice anything these days to make a statement.

  What is especially frustrating is how quickly these corporations would fold under pressure. Take a principled position for 1 week and watch what happens.

    The company would only fold under pressure if it was actually an issue a huge percentage of their customers cared about. This isn’t one of them.

    Take a principled position for 1 week and watch what happens.

    As soon as a timeframe is added, the company will just ignore it, especially something as minor as a week. Boycott should not have an end date, only then would a company start to consider it and maybe try to do something to end it.

      Sorry, I didn’t mean literally a week and to tell them first. I meant if enough people did this they would start to see the results of their effort in about one week.

        Fair, just misinterpreted then due to the context of the announcement saying it’s only for a week. My apologies.

    I wish I could see it in my lifetime. The scrambling back to people on their hands and knees and suddenly being super user friendly and pro consumer would be a glorious sight to behold.

      Its literally so easy most of the time. Once or twice a year something comes out that I really want to use / play. Its the two times per year I “suffer.”. The rest is stuff I probably would have tried and played but its now so far off my radar they’ll never see a cent again (unless of course there is a major overhaul in whatever co’s business model; happy to return with a change).

        I feel this exact way with GTA 6 right now but it got a lot easier for me when I realized how many thousands of potential hours of amazing experiences I already have in my library.

        I’m starting to feel more fulfilled on going through that backlog than I am on whatever new game everyone is playing.

        I should have taken this route a long time ago.
